I have a Jewish friend who grew up in Jerusalem back when the British controlled the region. He used to transport weapons in his knapsack when he was a child to get them through check points for the cause. This backpack idea might come back to haunt us.

I understand your anxiety, but why do some have to be so overly pessimistic, even when confronted with stories of success.
US troops have for years handed out so many backpacks to Iraqi and Afghan children, you can’t even count it. It’s not going to haunt us. It’s winning over the kids hearts. We are dealing with an enemy that stuffes IEDs in dead dogs, donkeys and trash bins.

Of course we can ultimately deny the Iraqis everything you can hide something in, so the terrorists can’t use it.
